az, i've used Krylon in the past. i was just "messing around" with the idea to paint an old set of AR furniture OD green, i sanded and sprayed it, it looked good. the job lasted (with normal use) about six months, but who cares right? sand and paint again. just my 2 centscolt

Colt Carbine, a Colt "CC" serial number rifle. 1616 made for export, and only about 300 left in the US.

Ditto on the Aluma Hyde II. Just be sure that the surface is immaculate and that you let it cure for at least a week. Personally, I sand lighty, degrease with lacquer thinner then alcohol. Let the Alumahyde stand in warm water for a few minutes so it sprays well, then spray multiple *THIN* coats. Hand up and ignore for 1 week.

Aluma Hyde II directions recommend heating the paint and surface to approx. 90 degrees F. Set the stocks and can in the hot sun for a while before applying. Dry hanging in the shade. Perhaps in the garage to minimize the fumes.

I've had great results with Dupli-Color Flexible Bumper Coating - Black. It is available at Wal-Mart in the auto section for around $3 a can, slightly more at auto supply stores. One can will do about two complete stock sets. It is a close match for original, maybe just a tad shinier. The shine can be knocked off with some 0000 steel wook after it dries. As far as durability, mine has been on for several months and still looks fresh (normal range use, no jungle combat).

FNG-Actually, I'm starting with a CAV lower. This is going to be a custom home project and I'm using the CAV ARMS lower as the base. I wanted a white one but no go. Maybe if enough people want one in white, Shawn will do a limited production. I did speak with him and they did a white lower in the past. They found that it got dirty VERY easily. So for now, I'll work with what's available and see how it works out. Because I will be using muliple colors with various patterns, some of the products suggested won't work. I am hoping to have it completed by next weekend. We'll see. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
